Podvin Castle
Podvin Castle (German: Schloß Podwein) stands just north of the center of Mošnje. It belonged to the Counts of Podvin in the 14th century. The family died out in 1397, and it came under the ownership of the Counts of Lamberg and Wagen. The Polignac family, which was of French origin, were the last private owners of the castle. During their stewardship the castle was extensively altered. It was raised by a floor and the original roof was replaced by a flat one.
